Chopard Imperiale 36mm Joaillerie

Swiss luxury watch maker Chopard introduces a new jewellery timepiece from the Imperial collection representing the epitome of luminous distinction. Finely crafted in 18 carat white gold and set with diamonds, Roman numerals punctuate the mother of pearl dial, while the curved hands are reminiscent of the tapered daggers used by sovereigns in battle. The shape of the lugs reflects the tradition of ancient columns famed for their perfectly balanced proportions. Finally, a diamond-set crown delicately curved like a lotus flower is fitted on the case middle with its pure, sleek sides designed to give the model a lighter touch and an even more lustrous glow. The sheer wealth and finesse of its details make the Imperiale collection an eminently feminine model that echoes the spirit and the splendour of imperial classicism.

The new Imperiale 36mm Joaillerie model beats to the rhythm of a self-winding movement and reprises the collection's design codes with a regal bearing: the dial appears adorned with magnificently shimmering Tahiti mother-of-pearl, while the bezel and the lug-covers are entirely set with diamonds. The fascinating dial reflections, together with the radiance of diamonds, create a luminous harmony to which a subtle silver-toned brushed canvas strap sets the perfect crowning touch.
